I was driving 80 miles per hour along the road Wednesday. I knew I was going too fast, but it was the only hope I had. My dog, Jett, was dying in the backseat.
About half an hour earlier I received a call from my daughter. A ball got stuck in Jett’s throat. He was struggling to breathe. I raced home to see if I could help, but the dog’s mouth water had made the ball too slippery to pull out by hand. So my daughter and I began our race to the vet’s (兽医诊所).
About halfway there, we got caught in traffic jams due to construction. I began wildly sounding my horn (喇叭), hoping to attract help, and ended up catching the eye of several construction workers. In an anxious voice, I told them what had happened to my dog. By then Jett was lying in the backseat, not moving. Cavaja Holt was one of the workers standing there. He stuck his hand down the dog’s throat and pulled out the ball, but Jett still wasn’t breathing.
And the guy behind Holt shouted out, “Breathe into his mouth! Breathe into his mouth!” And Holt did. It worked! Jett soon began breathing again. After dog might be saved, I continued my trip to the vet’s to make sure Jett was OK, and by the time I arrived the dog seemed to be doing much better. The staff there checked the dog over and said Jett was in good health.
Later on, I realized I was so anxious that I forgot to ask the man’s name and thank him on the spot. My daughter posted the story on the Internet, asking to locate him. Meanwhile, Holt posted the story too, hoping to find out how the dog was doing. Within minutes, someone connected the two. On Thursday morning, I drove back to the construction site and thanked Holt in person. He is truly a hero.
24. How did the author feel after she received the call?
A. Ashamed. B. Confused.
C. Annoyed. D. Panicked.
25. What led Holt to give Jett mouth-to-mouth breathing?
A. The vet’s advice. B. The author’s request.
C. His fellow worker’s advice. D. The author’s wrong rescue.
26. Why did the author’s daughter share the story online?
A. To get the address of Holt. B. To make contact with Holt.
C. To spread the moving story. D. To praise Holt for his deeds.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Race against death B. Find hero through the Internet
C. Stranger saves dog’s life D. Heart-stopping rush to the vet’s
C
Scientists say they have created a new device that can turn brain signals into electronic speech. The invention could one day give people who have lost the ability to speak a better way of communicating than current ones.
The device was developed by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco. Their results were recently published in a study in the journal Nature. Scientists created a “brain machine connection” that was set in the brain. The device was built to read and record brain signals that helped control the muscles to produce speech. These include the lips, tongue and jaw.
The study involved five volunteer patients who were being treated for epilepsy (癫痫). The individuals had the ability to speak and already had electrodes (电极) set in their brains. The volunteers were asked to read several hundred sentences aloud while the researchers recorded their brain activity.
The researchers used audio recordings to reproduce the vocal muscle movement which is the key to producing human speech. Future studies will test the technology on people who are unable to speak.
The study reports the reproduced sentences were understandable to hundreds of human listeners asked to write out what they heard. The listeners were able to write out 43 percent of sentences with perfect accuracy.
Edward Chang is a professor of the university’s Weill Institute. He was a lead researcher on the project. Chang admitted that much more research of the system would be needed to reach the goal of perfectly reproducing spoken language.
28. Who will probably benefit most from this device?
A. Those unable to hear. B. Those unable to see.
C. Those unable to speak. D. Those unable to write.
29. What do we know about the “brain machine connection”?
A. It could control the muscles.
B. It could produce human speech.
C. It could transform brain signals.
D. It could read and record brain signals.
30. Which of the following is important for production of human speech?
A. Brain activity. B. Muscle control.
C. Audio recording. D. Vocal muscle movement.
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Science. B. Fashion.
C. Education. D. Entertainment.
D
Supermarket shoppers could soon be checking the environmental impact of food before putting it in their trolleys, thanks to new research.
Many consumers want to know how their weekly food shop affects the planet. However, reliable information of this kind hasn’t been available because food companies only have to list their main ingredients (原料). The food industry has also been crying out for a new tool and this algorithm (运算法则), which is already being used by some companies to make their meals more eco-friendly, helps fill the gap.
Dr Mike Clark, who led the research at Oxford University, called the tool “a significant step towards providing information that could enable informed decision-making”. The team estimated the composition of 57,000 foods and drinks in supermarkets. It then assessed the impact of growing methods, processing and transport, against key environmental measures including greenhouse gas emissions and impacts on nature. Finally, an eco-score was worked out.
However, the analysis has limits. Under the algorithm, the higher the score, the higher the environmental impact. As expected, foods containing more meat and dairy score much higher than those with more plant-based ingredients. But there was wide variation within specific types. For example, the highest-impact pork sausage scored about a third higher than the least one. And the impact of biscuits rose the more chocolate they contained.
COOK, a frozen food producer looking to diversify away from meat, has worked with the researchers. It wants to explore whether putting eco-labels on its products would help customers embrace a more sustainable diet.
An official from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs welcomed the plan. “We want to give everyone the information to make healthier, greener and more sustainable choices with the food they buy.” However, the researchers don’t foresee eco-labelling becoming compulsory (义务的) in the near future. They want firms to adopt it voluntarily, something they believe would make a difference to the food industry in cutting their environmental footprint.
32. What does the underlined phrase “the gap” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Companies’ lack of requirements to label their ingredients.
B. Companies’ lack of tools to make their meals more eco-friendly.
C. Customers’ lack of habits of checking the environmental impact of food.
D. Customers’ lack of reliable information about the environmental impact of food.
33. What is mainly introduced about Dr Mike’s tool in paragraph 3?
A. Its functions. B. Its limitations. C. Its operation. D. Its significance.
34. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 4?
A. Higher score indicates higher environmental impact.
B. There can be varied scores within the same type.
C. Small changes in ingredients could make big differences.
D. Plant-based ingredients score lower than meat and dairy.
35. Why do the researchers agree it is up to firms to adopt eco-labelling?
A. They expect for voluntary actions.
B. Producers are still doubtful about it.
- They are not confident in their research.
- The government does not approve of it.

How to Help a Friend with Depression
If you have a friend who is suffering from depression, you may be unsure about what you should do to help. There are several ways that you can help a friend with depression.
36
As soon as you suspect that your friend is suffering from depression, you should encourage him or her to see a doctor. Your friend may be denying that there is a problem or maybe even embarrassed to admit that there is a problem. The extra encouragement of a friend may be all that your friend needs to seek help.
Supporting your friend
Depression can make people feel isolated and like no one cares. Even if you have shown your concern by doing things to help your friend, he or she may need to hear you say that you are there for them in order to believe it. Let your friend know that you are available. 37
Depression can also make a person feel worthless, but you can use encouraging words to support your friend until your friend remembers his or her worth again. 38 Avoid saying unnecessary things like, “It’s all in your head.” or “Snap out of it!”
Moving beyond depression with your friend
As your friend begins to feel better, keep your friend moving beyond depression by planning some fun outings. 39 And make plans to do those things so that your friend will always have something to look forward to. 40 Recent studies have shown it helps to ease the symptoms (症状) of depression and make people who are depressed feel more connected to others. You probably know what makes your friend laugh better than anyone else does, so make sure that you use that knowledge to laugh with them on a regular basis.
- Those who laugh last laugh best.
- Choose activities that you both enjoy.
- Encouraging your friend to talk to you.
- Helping your friend get treatment for depression.
- Laughter is known as the best medicine for a reason.
- Therefore, they can contact you right away if they need you.
- You could say, “You are such a gifted artist. I really admire your talent.”
